SUBSCRIBE ACTUALLY HAPPENED: bit.ly/2J5HP7jHello, this is Lisa, and for the last year, she’s been desperately trying to hold her family together until she realized that she wouldn’t succeed.One of Lisa’s earliest childhood memories is of going to a playground together with her parents. Nothing special happened, but for some reason, the joyful smiles of her parents that day stayed with her. It was a moment of pure happiness for all three of them.And this memory makes what happened to them later even worse.

To cut a long story short, one day, after seventeen years of marriage, her father brought them together and, with tears in his eyes, told them that he was leaving Lisa’s mother for another woman. Well, how should you react to news like that? You think that everything is fine and your parents love each other and you get on with doing your own stuff, and then...this happens.She asked her father why, but the answer was quite obvious - he’d just fallen in love with another woman.And then he just, well...left. It was just Lisa and her mom crying. Their house seemed so empty and lifeless without him, and they both missed him.She tried to imagine how she would feel if her future husband ever left her like that after two decades of marriage. It’s really hard to imagine what to do next.

After some time, her dad contacted her, and they met in a cafe. She thought that he wanted to come back. Maybe he had realized his mistakes, she thought, and it all was just a misunderstanding. She was wrong, of course. He just wanted to say that he still loved her and his leaving didn’t change things between them. Lisa begged him to reconsider and return to her mom, to think about it, to remember all the times they had together. He just smiled and said, “it’s not that simple.”Then he said that her mom was a strong woman and she would recover, and that Lisa needed to support her. But what about him, Lisa thought to herself. Wasn’t it his responsibility to support her, even if he was no longer in love with her? He then told her that he wanted Lisa and his girlfriend to meet at some point, because she was a good person and she would like her.He took her hand into his, and she just nodded silently. Maybe he was right. She didn’t want to lose her dad. She still loved him.

It was hard to go home that day. Lisa’s mom was a shadow of her former self, not even bothering to brush her hair in the morning. It was hard seeing a person who you’ve looked up to your whole life like that. She felt like she hated her for being so weak.At one point, Lisa just snapped and told her mom that it was her fault that her dad had left. Her mom burst into tears and cried even more than before, and she felt horrible for saying it. She apologized at least ten times over the next half an hour.Her mom then started to reveal everything about their relationship, how it had became worse every year, and how she knew that this would probably happen eventually. She told her that she hated her dad and didn’t want to forgive him, but Lisa just couldn’t make herself agree with her, because she couldn’t hate her own father.

Over the next few months, she tried to meet with her dad often, but each time the gap between their encounters grew a little bit longer. First one week, then two, then three. At one point, he called her by the name of his girlfriend’s daughter and didn’t even notice.At that moment Lisa realized what a big mistake she had been making the whole time. Instead of supporting her mom, she had been desperately trying to win back her father’s affection.He asked again if she was ready to meet with his girlfriend. And you know what? She said no. Because she didn’t want to meet her. Ever. And while she wanted to have a good relationship with her dad, it wasn’t him who was suffering most through this whole business - because at least he had a new partner, while there was just her and her mom in their old house.In the following weeks, she spent more time with her mom, trying to support her and take her mind off her dad. They became much closer.She finally found the courage to say to her dad that she didn’t want to meet his new girlfriend EVER. Yes, he was still family, but he wasn’t part of HER family anymore.Lisa is still very conflicted about the whole situation, but she’s glad to say that her mom looks and feels better nowadays. Last week she said that Lisa ought to stop thinking about it so much because she has to live HER OWN life. She had to study, have fun with her friends, maybe meet a guy, and not babysit her parents, because they were adults and they will manage.Lisa now thinks she was right. She hopes her mom will get better, and that she will manage to have a good relationship with her dad, but she also has to live her life and solve her own problems, while still supporting her mom, of course.Music by Epidemic Sound: www.epidemicsound.com

This actually sounds similar to my situation. My parents split up when i was about 6 years old. I'm 20 and I've moved on but some memories of the past still linger at the back of my mind, the good and the bad. Sometimes i think if they were still together, would my life be better? Probably not.

My dad told my mum,three days after Christmas Day, that he didn’t love her anymore and had to leave. We returned home and he left. A few months later we found out he had been cheating. I still saw him because I loved him but I shouldn’t have bothered. My parents had constant arguments and in one of the arguments my dad told my mum he wouldn’t pay the bills anymore and he didn’t. I met his girlfriend and she was horrible. She texted me and my mum nasty things. She called our home phone,our HOME phone. My dad then started to blackmail my mum into giving him money by using me. I hate him. It’s still happening and it just seems to be getting worse rather than better. 😢

your dad is a terrible person also how dare you tall her it's her fault that was fucked up. idc if your sorry you don't say shit like that it's awful. your dad left you he left you let it sink in but your mom didn't cherish and love her she is all you have.

My story When I was 6 years old and it was the first year at my new school I was having a great time with my new friends and stuff until an older boy came to me and started calling me tiny and small and baby and I was just trying to ignore him. But I couldn't because as the days passed he started hitting me and I was just a little girl who was scared to talk to someone about that so I didn't do anything and I was just crying. I didn't even want to go and play with my friends I just wanted to stay alone and cry and hide from that guy. One day he pussed me and I fell down and a friend of mine saw that so she talked to her mother about that and her mother talked to my parents about what was happening. The same day my parents told me they knew and I just started crying in my parent's hug. The next day my parents went to my school and talked to the teacher who punished that older boy. The next day this guy came to me to apologise and he told he was so sorry and from then he started taking care of me like I was his little sister and he didn't let anyone harm me. Everyone was great in my life again until I went to to junior high school. I was 13 years old and I really love Walt Disney movies. So kids on that school were thinking that these movies are just for little kids and I was to old to watch movies like these so they started calling me "13 year old baby" and everytime they were seeing me they were like "hey , where is Mickie mouse ?" Or like " hey , why were you late , were you watching winnie poo? ". I was felling so bad and I was trying to hide who I am so I started lying and pretending that I'm a cool girl who has a super gorgeous and popular boyfriend and all that stuff but that wasn't me. Luckily my friends were there for me and supported me so I stopped hiding about what I like. So one day kids just stopped laughing with what I like and I was feeling happy. Guys just be your self and never listen to what others say to make you change just love your self and be proud about who you are. Thank you. I would love it if you put my story in a video of yours love you 😙😙😙😙
